Goxxo to the Dentist.?I like to come
across a man with the toothache. There's
something so pleasant about advising
him to stuff cotton in it, to use camphor,
creosote, peppermint and "relief," that I
always feel better after giving it. I have
been thore, had an aching snag, and I
know just how it feels. It used to wake
me up at night and make me mad at
noon, and set mo to sweni'ing early in
the morning. I didn't meet man or
woman but what thoy advised me. One
said that a hot knitting needle pushed
down on the root was excellent; another
said that opium was an excellent thing;
and others said that it must bo dug out
by the dentist. If I sat down to dinner,
that old tooth began to growl. If I went
to bed, or got \ip, or went to a party, or
stayed at home, it growled just tho same.
It wasn't always a growl. Sometimes it
was a jump that made my hair stand up.
and again a sort of cutting pain that
made me mako up faces at the baby,
slam doors nnd break windows. I ato
cotton, peppermint, camphor and.
opium until I got black in the face, and
that old song kept right on. I put bags
of hot ashes to my cheek, applied mus?
tard, held my head in the oven, took a
sweat, and the ache still ached.
After the third week neighbors didn't
desire to let their boys pass my house,
and hawkers and book canvassers went
round another street. I was becoming a
menagerie, and at lost I decided to have
my tooth out. I decided to, and then I
decided not to. I changed my mind
four times in ono afternoon, and at last I
went. The dentist was glad to see me.
He said that if he could not take the
tooth out without hurting me, he would
give me a million. It got easier as ho
talked, and I concluded not to have it
pulled. I started down stairs, but a
jump caugh me, and I rushed back. He
said he would look at it; perhaps it did
not need pulling at all, but he could
kill the nervo. By dint of flattery he
got me in tho chair. Then ho softly in?
serted a knife and cut awav the gums.
I looked up and said I would kill him,
but he begged mo not to?said the cut?
ting was all the pain there was in it.
He finally got mo to lie back and open
my mouth, and then he slipped in
his forceps, and closed them round the
tooth.
"Ohsordordonborosoforsor!" I cried.
But he didn't pay any attention to it.
He drew a full breath.* grasped the for?
ceps tightly, and then he pulled. Great
npoons! but didn't it seem as if my head
was going! I tried to shout, grasped at
him, kicked and then he held up the
old snag, and said:
??There, I guess you won't feel any
more aching."
I leaped down a:id hugged him. I
promised him ten millions; I told him
to make my home his house forever: I
hugged him again. I shook hands with
everybody in the street, kissed my wife,
bought the baby a do/en rattle-boxes in
a heap, and it seemed to me as if the
world was too small for me, I was so
happy.
This is tho way the young men of
Farmin^ton come back on the young
ladies who resolved not to countenance
the use of tobacco by association with
those addicted to the habit:
Resolved, That hereafter wo will not
associate with or countenance nny female
who wears false hair or false teeth (under
twenty years of age,') or who uses corsets
